Chapter 98: Solving a major case requires a major prison

Who is the person with the strongest lightness skill in *Lu Xiaofeng Legend*?

Lu Xiaofeng, I suppose.

It depends on the specific situation, but it should be Lu Xiaofeng.

It should be Lu Xiaofeng. If you include Chu Liuxiang, the result might be different.

Gu Qing watched Lu Xiaofeng's clever figure as he flipped, jumped, and carefully lurked within Prince Pingnan's Mansion. He also felt that Lu Xiaofeng's lightness skill was indeed peerless. In the current world, setting aside Gu Qing, only the reclusive Chu Liuxiang could firmly suppress him.

With Gu Qing's pestering, Lu Xiaofeng naturally wouldn't leave both Gu Qing and Xue Bing with the Snake King. Thus, when he lurked into Prince Pingnan's Mansion, Gu Qing and Xue Bing were in a tree outside the mansion, peering inside.

The treasury of Prince Pingnan's Mansion was airtight. Lu Xiaofeng reached the roof, lifted the tiles, and saw three layers of iron mesh inside. He knew that the mansion's treasury could not be robbed by force. When he turned to leave, he bumped into Ye Gucheng.

The heir of Prince Pingnan's Mansion was Ye Gucheng's disciple.

This world-renowned Lord of Bai Yun City, with his white clothes and slight beard, held a precious sword. In an instant, a brilliant and magnificent sword light erupted, suppressing Lu Xiaofeng!

Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens!

Brilliant and swift, like a god executing the law, the erupted sword light was even more like a thunderbolt!

Lu Xiaofeng changed his position repeatedly, but he was not as fast as the changes in this sword strike. In an instant, it was right before Lu Xiaofeng!

"Hit!"

In a sword strike from which there was no retreat and no way to avoid, Lu Xiaofeng's Soul's Intuition finger was cleverly deployed. With two fingers clamped together, he actually caught Ye Gucheng's sword tip.

"Lord of Bai Yun City."

Lu Xiaofeng called out Ye Gucheng's name. The two talked, and only then did Lu Xiaofeng learn that Ye Gucheng had been certain Lu Xiaofeng would come to Prince Pingnan's Mansion to spy, so he had specially waited here just to treat Lu Xiaofeng to a Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens.

"Four months ago, Master Wood saw my sword and considered it the peerless sword of the world."

Ye Gucheng suddenly said.

"It is peerless."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said.

"Then what do you think of my sword compared to Gu Qing's?"

Ye Gucheng asked again. Gu Qing had sealed Master Gusong with one sword strike; Ye Gucheng had heard of such things.

Lu Xiaofeng evaluated seriously, saying, "Gu Qing's martial arts are very broad, especially his ability to use two sets of martial arts with his left and right hands simultaneously, which is equivalent to one person fighting two. If he were to fight the Lord of Bai Yun City purely with sword technique, the Lord of Bai Yun City's sword would be sharper."

Although Gu Qing had learned much, he was ultimately not as pure as Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue.

Ye Gucheng frowned slightly and said, "In other words, if I were to compete with Gu Qing, I would have to let Gu Qing use one hand?"

Lu Xiaofeng immediately shut his mouth; he hadn't said that!

But if Gu Qing used his left hand to catch Ye Gucheng's sword with the Soul's Intuition finger and his other hand to use a sword, he could indeed defeat Ye Gucheng.

At this moment, Jin Jiuling and Hua Manlou, who had been hiding on the side watching the show, finally walked out. Beside Hua Manlou followed a gentle young girl. Lu Xiaofeng looked at her appearance and saw it was actually Shi Xiuxue of the Mount Emei Sect.

"Huh?"

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Hua Manlou, then at Shi Xiuxue of the Mount Emei Sect, unable to figure out why Hua Manlou also had a female companion, and why Shi Xiuxue, one of the Three Heroes and Four Beauties of the Mount Emei Sect, was following Hua Manlou.

"It's a long story."

Hua Manlou said gently, "Overall, it was love at first sight."

As soon as Shi Xiuxue of the Mount Emei Sect saw Hua Manlou, she immediately fell in love, letting Hua Manlou touch her face to memorize her appearance, and then they met by chance and were together.

His brother was in love, and Lu Xiaofeng was very happy, but he didn't like that his brother had been watching his show.

"You knew early on that there was a peerless sword waiting for me here, yet you were watching the fun from the side?"

Lu Xiaofeng said unhappily.

Jin Jiuling said, "We knew you would definitely come because you had to test if anyone could enter the treasury. Because before you came, we had already reached a conclusion: if Lu Xiaofeng couldn't get in, then no one in the world could!"

Everyone present accepted this conclusion.

"Then how did the Embroidery Bandit get in?"

Gu Qing's voice drifted from afar. When he said the first word, Gu Qing was still outside the mansion; by the time he said the last word, he had already swept to the front of the crowd.

Ye Gucheng and Jin Jiuling saw Gu Qing and were amazed at his lightness skill, and even more curious as to how Gu Qing could hear their conversation from so far away. Jin Jiuling, who had a guilty conscience, even thought, "Does the divine ability of 'Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing' really exist in the world?"

Lu Xiaofeng was on the side with a dark face. He knew the inside story best; clearly, Gu Qing had just slipped nearby and then brought Xue Bing back in again.

"So I have reached a conclusion!"

Gu Qing looked at Ye Gucheng and said, "That is, there is a traitor inside Prince Pingnan's Mansion, and it is a group crime. The talk of the Embroidery Bandit sounds very absurd. Thinking about it carefully, this is not much different from 'Ghost Soldiers Borrowing Grain' or 'Fire Dragon Burning the Granary'."

Ye Gucheng was also shocked by Gu Qing's internal energy ability, unable to figure out how Gu Qing could know their conversation from afar, but hearing Gu Qing say there was a traitor in the mansion, he immediately became serious.

Jin Jiuling was a boss of a volume.

Ye Gucheng was also a boss of a volume.

Jin Jiuling plotted for money and a perfect crime, but Ye Gucheng plotted to assassinate the Emperor and overthrow the imperial court. Prince Pingnan's Mansion had always plotted much. Suddenly, the traitor was right beside him; Ye Gucheng could not be soft-hearted!

One must know that in the volume *Before and After the Decisive Battle*, the people Ye Gucheng killed, such as Gongsun Danniang, were all because they "might" have known about Prince Pingnan's Mansion's plot.

A "might" was enough for Ye Gucheng to sentence them to death.

"You mean there is an inside traitor in Prince Pingnan's Mansion?"

Ye Gucheng said coldly.

"Correct!"

Gu Qing nodded and said, "This inside traitor is not small. So instead of investigating the mystery of the Embroidery Bandit, we should carefully comb through the testimonies in Prince Pingnan's Mansion to see how much of the testimony is true and how much is false."

"Since the Embroidery Bandit has committed a major case, Prince Pingnan's Mansion can only hold a major prison!"

This was Gu Qing's suggestion.

Jin Jiuling, on the side, was just about to speak when he felt his whole body turn cold. He looked to the side and saw Ye Gucheng's murderous aura was cold and sharp.

"It seems we were indeed blinded by the Embroidery Bandit."

Ye Gucheng said coldly, "Ignoring the internal problems of Prince Pingnan's Mansion."

Ye Gucheng was the teacher of the Prince Pingnan's heir and the core figure of the future assassination. He had a very high right to speak in the mansion. Hearing Gu Qing say this possibility and thinking of how Lu Xiaofeng couldn't enter the treasury, he said, "Indeed, to solve a major case, one should hold a major prison!"

"That's right!"

Gu Qing said, "First, arrest all the people in the mansion and interrogate them. Let them know that the hearts of the people are like iron and the official law is like a furnace!"

In ancient times, solving cases didn't require so much evidence. If a murder occurred in a household, all the neighbors would be arrested and interrogated one by one with boards.

Gu Qing looked at Jin Jiuling. The Embroidery Bandit was a group crime. At this time, the mastermind, Jin Jiuling, should be the most panicked.
